One Hundred Views of Famous Places of Edo

This series published late in the life of Hiroshige is celebrated as the final summary of his landscape prints. The series appears to have been published parcel after parcel as it won popularity, 37 designs in 1856, 71 in 1857, 10 in 1858, totaling 118 designs. The publisher was Uoei (Uo-ya Eikichi) at Shitaya Ueno Hirokoji.

Many pieces of this series have extremely magnified and detailed foregrounds, to emphasize the perspective, or bird's-eye views from high above. Even in his latter years, Hiroshige had a surprising vitality and maintained his creative powers to explore more new ways of expression.
